Photo Sharing Tools

These different sites have a lot in common, however, there are some capabilities that I think would be great in teaching. I have decided that I like bubble share the best. I really like the ability to add caption bubbles, clip art and audio clips to photos. This could be really fun to use in teaching. I think it would be fun for the students to create their own stories using pictures they take with digital cameras. Then they could create their own slide show using their pictures with the captions, clip art and audio clips. I would have them read their story as they present their slide show. This would be a good way to have them use their creativity and writing skills as well.

Another idea is to have students put together a slide show for a report. I think I would have them just use pictures from the internet, or it they want, they could use a digital camera to take pictures that pertain to their topic and upload them to their computer. The captions and clip art would come in handy for the report as well.

Great idea. That would be a lot of fun for a class to create a story on bubble share and use pictures they took and add captions.
